These boxes are really very easy to make. I rolled white fimo into two rings and baked them. I glued two exra rings to one fimo framed ring. This formed the body of the box. To the cover, the other fimo framed ring, I glued a piece of jewelry finding and to the inside of the cover I glued a little white card circle to help keep it in place.

I used the same method on the heart shaped boxes.

I am making a flower shop, a gift to a close friend. The flowers in the photo are part of it. I love making flowers, they are time consuming but have a calm effect on me so it's really a relaxing job.

I use this opportunity to welcome Emma and thank her for following my blog.

And something not mini but musical to enjoy for the weekend. The Typewriter by Leroy Anderson (1908 - 1975), American composer of short, light concert pieces. This particulr orchestration was performd in June 2011 by members of the National Orchestra and Chorus of Spain, Madrid. The "typewriter" soloist is Alfredo Anaya. Watch his expressions and actions.

It's already August and the days are getting hotter and very humid. Instead of concentrating on
a large project, I make small items. Today I'll show you how I make my Ferrero Rocher Boxes.

I use the wrapping of one chocolate ball together with its brown paper cup and sticker to make one box.

I use a square or rectangle bubble from either a pill or a chewing gum.

With a regular office punch I punch 12 circles out of the brown paper cup. From the thin
metal wrapping I cut 12 squares, more or less the same size. These squares are cruched and made into little balls.

With a stylus The little circles are cupped.

The little brown cups are glued on a piece of acetate which is secured to my working pad with
celotape, ech filled with a tiny ball.

When dry, I put a small amount of glue on the underside of the rectangle bubble and cover the 12
cups. Only after the glue is completely dry, I use scissors to trim the box and glue the sticker on top of
the box.

This is something I love to do because it's an excuse to eat a delicious chocolate. To tell the truth, I ate
two but please don't count.

I also made more flowers and plants.

A warm welcome to my new followers. Thank you for your interest in this blog.
